I love Mr. Dale. He was much more than our friend. He was family to all of my family. So many great memories. He is with all his people now. Oh, what a reunion they are having. Always will be missed.

Dale Cryer family, so sorry for your loss. Mr. Cryer was the nicest and most caring boss that I worked with in my early years at LSU. I enjoyed working with him. He was such a special person! Sending prayers during this most difficult time.
